After a fresh install? Hey, this error comes from the installer. ;)
Here is the code.
Code:
$db = & JInstallationHelper::getDBO($DBtype, $DBhostname, $DBuserName, $DBpassword, $DBname, $DBPrefix);
// create the admin user
$installdate = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
$nullDate = $db->getNullDate();
So I'm guessing that fetching the database object was not successful. This is a problem, but is there a reason why this failed, eg, wrong db password? I ran through an installation w/out problem so I'm not sure what conditions would cause this problem.
